SECTION 5 - CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Since 1995 Dr. Scheepers directed his efforts towards the investigation of gemstone deposits covering alluvial and kimberlitic diamond deposits in South Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Tanzania. One of his major achievements in Tanzania was the investigation of the geology and technical aspects of the Merelani tanzanite deposit which eventually led to the listing of the first colored gemstone company on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
Dr. Scheepers is also closely involved in the application and development of geochemical analytical techniques and was in charge of the running of an XRF laboratory, an ICP=AES laboratory and a micro thermometric laboratory. He participated in the development of international geochemical reference standards and completed numerous analytical problems for the industry over the years.
Dr. Scheepers' interest in providing small scale miners with the necessary skills to conduct safe and effective mining led to the establishment of the Gemstone Research Centre at Stellenbosch University and currently the Unit for Gemstone Geology ("UGG"). The UGG is a collaborative training and research unit between Free State and Dar Es Salaam Universities through which research on gemstone deposits is currently conducted.
Dr. Scheepers received his B.Sc. (Hons), Cum Laude in 1979, his M.Sc, Cum Laude in 1982 and his PhD in 1990 from the University of Stellenbosch.
